So I just finished watching Divergent and I just felt a huge sense of Ravnica goin on there! Not saying the creators copied, just an awesome similarity.

Just had to get that off my chest. Anyway, that is all.

Dude, I literally just watched that yesterday because I rented it from redbox...woah bro,,,
Anywho, I totally get where your coming from with the Ravnica thing :D, I had a thought like that, but I was watching it with my friends who don't play Magic, so it would've been wasted on them...

What colors would they be?

Candor likes truth and is very blunt. They are the lawmakers like the Azorious, white/blue.
Erudite is in pursuit of knowledge so it's blue based. Blue/Black because of their nefarious plans.
Dauntless reminds me a lot of Rakdos, of course a little less murder carnival. Daring and selfish. Very black/red.
Amity is agricual so it's probably green. They focus on more of the positive emotions and they can't hold their emotions back. That's green/red. We often think of red as anger, but it just has strong emotion in general.
Abnegation is selfless so obviously it's white based. They refuse to adopt to technology much like green. Green/white is my bet.

I may have forced it a bit, but I think they fit the allied colors the best.

Time to make a Divergent set...

Spikepit

Yep, I think you've answered your question precisely! Those were my exact pick too.

Lmao I thought the same thing but had no one to share with and didn't think to share here.

I see dauntless more boros just cuz they are more lawful which is closer to white.  When I think black, I think completely lawless.  They are for sure red though.

Spikepit

Dauntless are totally Boros. I also think Erudite are more Simic with their thirst for knowledge and experimentation on people.

I had a nice cycle going on :-(

Spikepit

Man, you nailed the other 60% though! S'all good!

The1337Magician

I still think that the Erudite are Dimir. Only the evil ones I guess, but they were acting pretty selfishly and using anything to get their way.
Same goes for the evil Dauntless I guess.

{Momir Vig, Simic Visionary}. Do you what this guy did, or tried to do to Ravnica? Kate Winslet would be a good casting for him. 😜

I guess so... They might not have been acting selfishly. They might have truly thought they were improving the community by destroying the Abnegation.
